We shouldn't make jokes at his expense.......actually, this will all be at his expense! Ok, sorry.....

Sounds more like a $7,500 RS6... I hope the issues are not as bad as you imagine and/or you have excellent mechanical skills.

Current book on a "very good" 100k mi. RS6 (if such thing exists unless trans and TC already done... at least once) is $12-13k. I think 3-4 yr.s ago it was 22-24k. I haven't looked at auction lately, prob. don't want to.

I just got my replacement Tozo rebuilt trans and Edge TC both with 35k mi.s on it last week from a manual swapped at what I feel was a fairly economical price. We'll see how I feel about this car after going thru all that on my own. See if its really as bad as forum folklore would lead one too believe.... I'm assuming it will be. Luckily have 2 post lift and trans jack, good working table to put on and work on, very seasoned euro tech friend to help and no time limit or immediate need for car. I just know at $12-13k value I wasn't really feeling spending in the $4k range just for parts/rebuild for doing trans /TC job.

Its like a hot girl who's a pain in the ass.... just try and enjoy the good parts and do your best to deal with and forget about the bad sh-t.

What would you guys pay for a nice condition and well kept one of these cars with a known bad trans? I'm currently looking at one... don't ask why because no good answer, prob. give to girl let her drive around for a while, then I can hear her bitch about how much gas it sucks down for entertainment. I really shouldn't even consider it until I see how much I hate my first trans job.

^This place rings the bell again- Good laffs for a Friday afternoon...;0

Come on now if I was gonna sell it. I'd just flush the coolant and just throw it on craigslist. Best way to sell it IMO

Somethings not right here. When you mix oil and water you get that sludge. There is just a tiny little bit of that on the cap. The coolant or what ever it is almost looks like straight engine oil.

Good call...and swap the exhaust at least. That's a nice find if you're Miltek turbo back, $3,500 right there. You should get all the info you need from people on here. Parts cost can be rough, but if you got the time and labor down that's good. Cmnair I think had a thread about all the interior buttons, sources.

If you need any parts, let me know. My car is in the process of being parted out and I still have a fair amount of parts left. See my part out thread in the "for sale" section. Feel free and shoot me a PM.

I ran codes only had 2 on engine. Bank 1 lean. And bank 2 rich. Sounds like 02s. This was with a cheap little scan tool.

Maybe, or injector or fuel or spark or air flow issues. Ross-tech VCDS will tell you exactly what is signaling, if it's O2 or not. Upper O2s monitor fueling richness, while lower set down in cats covers emissions.
